A long time ago, I made an adult female sim in Bodyshop, and when I switched to child, the following outfit appeared. The outfit looked so pretty, but I couldn't find it in my catalog. I looked for it in Skins, and it contained 5 files, not the 3 that came with H&M. Is this outfit hidden or something? How do I extract it? I know it's in my game, because it appears in Bodyshop. I just don't know how to extract it. :(

Strangely, TheSimMan actually has the outfit in the game!?! How is this possible?

I know there should be 5 textures linked to this outfit: redstriped, bluestriped, maroon, white, and pinkstriped. I think I am missing white and maroon.

When I looked at my game files, that particular colour shows up in the Bon Voyage folder as well. So if you've got Bon Voyage installed, maybe that's why it's showing up.

You can make a recolour of one of the colours that does show up in Body Shop, and then use the repository texture technique to link the texture to your recolour.

Do you know how to use the repository technique to link the texture to my recolor?

Try the instructions in this thread (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=300954). You're not making an age conversion, but the repository technique is the same. Basically, you're taking the file name for the texture and putting it in your recolour. Then the game knows where to look for the texture (and you get a smaller file, too).
